VRR syncs the fps of the game to the refresh rate of the screen. So, if the game is lagging slightly, you don’t get as much stutter.

Mamar hides this complexity now, and I added an 'Automatic' option (value 255 πŸ˜‰) that determines how much polyphony your track actually uses and then uses that

figured out how polyphony (playing multiple notes at once) works in Paper Mario’s music format and uhhh

monophonic = 1, duophonic = 5, triophonic = 6, quadraphonic = 7. 0, 2, 3, 4 are buggy. anything over 7 gives you ✨random polyphony✨ by reading garbage ram
